I downloaded the GE map for my macbook and it is insanely slow. Does anyone know a tweak for this as i need it for a project i am working on.

By slow i mean it is taking AGES to render detail and the whole interface feels clunky and laggy..... and this is on an i7 Mac with a 100Mbit connection. The same mac running windows (and my android tablet and phone on same connection) works uber smooth.

It is annoying rebooting to use it.

Hmm. It runs blindly smooth on my i7 Mini (10.7.5), fullscreen at 1920 x 1200.

It starts smooth but then it goes horrid after about 20 mins must be a memory leak in the osx version or something :/

You left out all the important facts then! :-p

What's your memory cache set to?
What happens when you clear it? etc...

Fresh reboot, cache is whatever the default is for 8 gigs.
